Eleusis




Through the passing of the aeons and ages,
where the human mind does not perceive
and so does not remember,
following the Silent call
that took hold of my soul
with the strength and life of
thousands, I would say, lives
I found myself once again
- a unique time -
Again in Eleusina.

The place sprung
in front of my eyes
perpetual, ancient power and warmth
alike the warmth that a child
finds only in his Mother’s embrace;
and even if people, ignorant and uninitiated,
have stopped listening and understanding the voice of their soul,
still this earth calls out to them
and welcomes them…

My heart beats quickly
As rapid as the lover’s heart
beats for it’s only lover …
Persephone! Oh Daughter most loved of Psyche,
Eternally Beloved!
Drunkingly I feel through eternal solicitude
to find the Descent in the Telesterion,
that lies in abandoned ruins
only to the eyes of my body
but not the eyes of my soul !

Quick flashes:
A figure of great respect, white-dressed body; a snake; a pomegranate
pass before me,
as when I copulated with you, o Splendorous Daughter,
in Dark Hades, the Eternal, the Adored Darkness !
And Lo! Hades smiles upon me,
and from this divine smile
a divine light is all I saw,
where the mouth in Silence
dares not pronounce the words:
Iakche! Oh Iakche! Io Io Bakcheute,
friend of the Eternal Dance,
Lord of the Universe!
What else could this divine light be
if not a sublime Star
in the velvet Night sky ?
